Title: Which is better?
Post by: Fermenter Zym on May 01, 2012, 03:50:24 am
Which is a better source of fat while I wait for my meat orders? Raw egg yolks or U.S. Wellness beef tallow for fat?

Raw egg yolks since they're  raw unlike tallow. But the former are still not ideal. I tend to not properly absorb raw eggs with the exception of raw goose eggs and raw quail eggs. I suspect this is because the other types of eggs are all from heavily-grainfed birds.

No good.

Is it because ducks are fed grain while geese not?

Well, even the duck eggs I got from farmers' markets had that negative effect. They also tasted much fouler. Ducks in the UK are far more intensively-raised than other birds, judging from reports.

I usually drink raw chicken eggs, free range, they taste great to me (I didn't like omega 3 fortified though). There is a source of duck eggs at the farmers market, going to try them. Unfortunately no goose nor quail eggs around.

I think sour cream and butter are better as a temporary solution than tallow and very accessible if there is a problem with eggs.
